Is it just me or are the studios being deceptive?

Now, maybe there are some compression issues that are the cause of it... but it seems like studios put less content on discs than will actually fit to increase the number of discs to make a higher price tag more viable. Maybe?

Take the Godfather release as just one example... same number of discs as the DVD collection, why? Couldn't three films, even long ones, fit on a 50 gig dual layer disc?

If this is in fact the case, it is very disappointing. The studios expect consumers to spend extra money for their release on a superior format when the format we're paying the extra money for isn't even being utilized to its full extent. I hope that my suspicions are wrong. If not, it will make going blu much harder for me, which is sad because I'm very excited about the quality of these discs.
